XP has System Restore, no? Did you manually create a restore point the first time, or did you rely on an automatically-generated one?

To start Backup, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Backup.

If you can get back to a usable desktop (SafeMode - F8 at boot up), you can initiate a roll-back to a restore point:
Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore
Choose a restore point dated prior to your software install.
Good luck!

I think this calls for a North America Ping.

I assume you have System Restore turned on. If so, you go to Safe Mode using F8. Eventually it will ask you to log in. Log into Administrator or an account with administrator privileges.
Eventually you will get a splash screen that says that you are going into Safe Mode and has Yes or No options. No will take you to system restore. Follow the prompts and eventually you will get to a calendar with dates bolded. Those dates are system restore points.
Pick one. You may have to try several, but one will work.
